Why is prostitution bad?

Why is prostitution bad? Yes there is the diseases part but what if the person was completely clean and goes for check ups frequently, so what is the harm? If a person can walk into a plastic surgeons office and ask to add or remove something off their body they should also be allowed to sell it, it makes sense. Enlighten me.

It's extortion of simply that was meant to be a lot more than just a simple act that "feels good."

That, and most women in prostitution are to the point where they can not get out even if they wanted too.

Well its bad because girls that do it, unless they are pornstars, are usually forced to do it.

Sometimes I wonder this too. People want a service, knowing the risks, and others are willing to offer it and they get compensated.
Stupid morality!

It's just bad mm'kay

Diseases aside, many people have moral problems with the idea of making a product out of intimacy and find it to be degrading for others to sell their bodies out in such a way.

I think It should be legal, I mean you're just paying for a service after all but it should becontroled and regulated. Like I'm not for hooking iton the street and all but in places like mexico you basically got these gentmen's clubs where some of the chicks double as prostitutes and there's even a hotel out backwhere they go to do there business. They'er checked regularely for std's and all of that to. If the woman wants to make a living like that then that's here business. They're just providing a service. So I think it should be legal as long as it's controlled and regulated.

If your mother or daughter was involved in prostitution, how would you feel about that? Basically that is why it is not allowed in society, for the most part.

Because it allows women to leave the kitchen.

Not really, vast majority do it for the easy money.You are thinking the street crack whore stereotype

By the way, you mentioned a huge paradox on this question. You can not sell your body for privite use, but for a public movie its ok

I would feel the same way as if my daughter or mother was a pornstar, stripper, playboy model they chose the profession and I can't really do anything about it. Yeah I'd be a bit disturbed picturing my mother naked....but that all goes away when i apply bleach to my eyes.

I think it's a good thing. Prostitutes in Germany pay income taxes and always have police officers nearby. It could be used as an outlet to satisfy frustrated single guys/girls and boost their confidence. There would probably be less rapes and molestations, too.

This is because of the crime that takes place in such a business. Kidknapping, rape, murder, AIDS...all of this happens due to Pimps and Johns. The governmtent isin't willing to accept prostitution, legalize it and help clean it up. It's easier to just outlaw the act.

Prostitutes aren't nesesarily the problem...it's the 'business' men behind it.

I was actually thinking of most of the russian or yes street girls. I probably shouldnt have included pornstars, my mistake. I dont mind brothels, or places with legal prostitution, as they are usually clean and care for themselves.

Well the spread of aid yes, but aids did not come from prostitutes.

That is like, 0.00001% of the combination of historical, economical and cultural aspects that actually made prostitution illegal

I know this. But unprotected sex and the exchange of STDs is quite often in that line of work.

It's nasty IMO, but personally I can't see why it's criminal.

This is true. But brothels are illegal in most states.

Yes, I don't mind them either. But you mentioning pornstars was not a mistake. I think porn is very correlated with this topic

But back on topic, some woman go to the point where they can't even get out.

Because most of the women that do it don't actually want to do it. Yes, there are a small minority of women out there that see it as an issue of rights to their body and economic freedom, and some of them genuinely enjoy the profession. But there are many, many women who are prostitutes who do it because they are either forced (through abusive relationships and organized crime) or because of lack of other economic options. It's not really a choice if there are no other options. Even in state-run brothels, there's still a lot of room for exploitation.

That being said, I think prostitution should be legalized. Regardless, there's going to be a sex market, and society should do its best to protect women who partake in prostitution from the worse parts of the profession (threat of violence, disease, rape and extortion). Having prostitution legal and state-run would largely mitigate these factors. Furthemore, having the profession of prostitution legitimized as real form of employment would help women with the social stigma of being a prostitute that further worsens their situations. It's not a perfect solution to the problem but it is the best that can be done for now.

I see street prostitution as bad but I think brothels are fine, a bit sleazy but to each their own. Toriko42

Morality comes into huge effect, also the illegal trafficking and kidnapping of woman.Jazz_Fan

Morality is subjective and if you approach prostitution from a logical standpoint there's nothing harmful about it beyond disease transmission. It's a purely victimless crime.

As for sex trafficking, kidnapping, and disease transmission: all of those things could be nearly eliminated with government oversight, and that's only possible if the government legalizes it and recognizes it as a valid industry. Think about it, if prostitution became legal the government could require that all prostitutes have a license to "practice their trade". This would requre identification and oversight by law enforcement, and those two things together would wipe out the use of sex slaves except on the black market. However, since prostitution would now be legal there would be no reason for men to resort to black market prostitution, and thus there would be no incentive for illegal human trafficking. As for diseases, part of the licensing requirement could be that each woman is required to get screened for STDs every so often. If an STD is found then she loses her license to practice. Laws are already in place today that make it a criminal offense for a prostitute to continue soliciting business if she has an STD, so the issue of the intervening time inbetween disease screenings would already be taken care of.

On top of all those benefits, legalizing prostitution would also bring in more tax revenue to the government and help to relieve overcrowding in our prisons (which results in further benefits to society).

In contrast, there's really no benefit that I can see to keeping prostitution outlawed.

Because most of the women that do it don't actually want to do it. Yes, there are a small minority of women out there that see it as an issue of rights to their body and economic freedom, and some of them genuinely enjoy the profession. But there are many, many women who are prostitutes who do it because they are either forced (through abusive relationships and organized crime) or because of lack of other economic options.
